Lee Hurley served as The Muse's Arts and Culture Editor from 2024-2025, and Managing Editor from 2025-2026. Their term as Managing Editor saw The Muse back in print with a 75th Anniversary supplement and a 'Sex, Drugs, and Rock n' Roll' magazine issue after a decade of web-only publication. During Lee's term, they were a passionate Communication and Media Studies major and self-proclaimed "expert" on local music scenes, doing their part to fill the gap in arts coverage within our province. Lee was usually haunting the Communications wing of the arts building or blasting painstakingly curated playlists in the Muse office.
